1.8m fortec star would do it if you have got a bit of room in the garden as it is ground mounted,

This is what i use from maplin only £99 if you order online postage is free and you get a few quid off

http://www.lyngsat.com/packages/showtime.html I am not quite clear what the dish size would have to be, I get some of the TP's with a 1200mm but not all. Mid Wales.

***EgyptDUDE*** · 13-11-2006

so AlJazeera Sport channel will split from ART Hotbird's cards , just like it did last summer on Nilesat
AJSC cards can be baught seperately and with a cam (not connected to ART HB) and of course still available on Nilesat (part of Showtime Arabia or free for Orbit subs)
we might have hope then for EPL on AJSC on HB ?!!!
time will tell

**Analoguesat** · 13-11-2006

To frund - 1.8m minimum (thats what Rd100 uses near Cardiff)

linsladeboy · 13-11-2006

Many apologies if I offended you in anyway RD100

Keep up the good work

The point I am trying to make is that there are a considerable amount of peed off 12 month Art Sport subscribers in the UK at present(I personally was about to order Art package system for xmas) and now have second thoughts!!!

**jimbo** · 13-11-2006

Well my Art card will cover the premiership for this season. Next season I expect I'll need to watch the championship.

Still ..... so will Rolf.

No problem

I would be upset aswell if i bought a Art card for football and this happend

Do me a favour mate will you have a look for the strongest transponder please and post the freq jsut in case(not just for showtime but the actual satellite)

thanks

11.747 V 27500 3/4 is one of the strongest on nilesat

Best way to find it is find Atlantic bird2 8'w 11.010 H 27500 3/4 first then touch the dish 1 degree back east to nilesat 7'w

Don't think I didn't notice that.

Ahem. Royals 3 - 1 Spurs

Well most people will have bouight their ART cards prior to this season's start and by the time the package moves over to Showtime, their cards will have expired.

There will probably be other options like digitalb on 16E and Czech Link on 23.5E, obviously not as cheap as ART is at the moment, but did anyone seriously expect the cheap ride to last?

**Licinius** · 13-11-2006

No luck trying to find it with my 1m Gilbertini, looks like another argument with the wife when I stick a 1.8m dish in the garden

**mhku** · 13-11-2006

How much does a sub card cost for Showtime?

1.8M - that's about 1/4 of my garden

But looks like I don't need to put it in the garden:

tollickd · 13-11-2006

I was goignt o buy a ART card at the end of this month i don't know what to do now

daniel

**rolfw** · 13-11-2006

No idea on costs yet, I'm sure it will come to light in the coming months though.

at tollickd, you'll still have the whole of this season, so it is still good value.

tollickd · 13-11-2006

i will have to rethink about it!!

13-11-2006

I pay about £23ish per month from my credit card direct to showtime,

I have a irdeto2 ADD FIRSTNET card which i had a few months back then i subscribed to showtime by just calling them up and subscribe because if you have a ADD or firstnet or pehla or al awael card you can have showtime added to your card,

You can also just buy a showtime card but they will only post the card to the middle east,

But i do know a few companys that can get showtime cards,

But i was thinking about packing the sub to showtime in soon and just buying a visionnet vn8000s

Its a shame, Art have lost the rights, some very unhappy live kickoff football fans,
myself included to hear this news.

However all is not lost, if we are all prepared to pay for reception of Showtime.
a friend told me, showtime can be picked at 62E, bit too low on the horizon
for myself, perhaps others, with a clear view might have more luck.

Package with free Decoder/Sports & Movie channels, some 400AED pm? so I've been told. (unconfirmed)

Also I googled & came across this, Nilesat 7W footprint/dish size for UK reception.

I reckon (correct me if I'm wrong) some dish sizes quoted, would be too small.

***wod*** · 14-11-2006

instead of paying for a bigger dish just get a sub to nova or canal + etc will be much cheaper than buying a 1.8metre andrews dish

and what is Showtime Arabia doing exactly at 62East ???

**stuzeeuk** · 14-11-2006

I think were jumping the gun a little here. I still haven't seen this reported on any other website. However, unfortunately, I have full faith in the admin team here.......

Secondly we dont know

1 - If showtime intend to show 4-6 matches simultaneuosly as ART do !(or just show 1 or 2)
2 - If they will continue with English Commentary.

If they only show 1 match at 3pm with Arabic Commentary it would reduce their value (to us) considerably.

Only time will tell .......

**rolfw** · 14-11-2006

The news is all over Google, search for "Showtime Arabia premier football" and you will see the confirmation.

Of course this doesn't guarantee that ART will have no matches at all, just makes it improbable.

If they've bought a similar package to that which ART have at present, then I guess that the coverage will be similar.

**Salty25** · 14-11-2006

If anyone was thinking of getting an ART card now, I think they should forget it and just watch the 3pm's on the net like i do (i'm presuming many have Sky for the other games).

Perhaps it would be a good idea to post a 'knock-list' of the different broadcasters and their packages and prices on this thread, since this is becoming a magnet for viewers.

linsladeboy · 14-11-2006

What a great idea!

As I stated, I am unable to pickup this satellite, I was going by reports found
at the following (3rd & 5th down)

I am aware, this forum do not like links to other places & that's why
I only posted the relevant information for other members benefit.

In view of this, perhaps you may wish to redirect your question to the original author.

Thanks mh for neutralizing live link, don't seem to wok for me.
